Upcoming lectures: Arizona Women Who Made History
Each year Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries provides our community with several informative and entertaining lectures. All are offered free of charge to FSL members, while non-members are charged a nominal $5 fee to attend some of the lectures.
On October 15, 2015, our speaker will be Jan Cleere, a well-known author and historian. Jan will talk about influential women of pre-statehood Arizona. She is the author of the recently published book Levis and Lace that is available through the SaddleBrooke Libraries.
The SaddleBrooke Libraries’ collection also contains two other books by Jan Cleere: Amazing Girls of Arizona and Outlaw Tales of Arizona.
This lecture will be held in the MountainView Clubhouse Ballroom from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. and is offered free of charge to all.
Thriller writer Becky Masterman
Discover a new author with great critical reviews
Come and meet thriller writer Becky Masterman at the Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries’ next Author Luncheon to be held at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, November 20. As the former editor of a forensic medicine encyclopedia, Masterman brings a unique background to her mysteries. Largely unknown to the general public, she has received widespread praise from critics for her first mystery novel, Rage Against The Dying. And more rave reviews for her just published second thriller, Fear The Darkness. Both feature a fun and fearless 59-year-old retired FBI agent named Brigid Quinn.
Tickets are now on sale at the HOA 2 administration annex. A beautiful luncheon of chicken citrus salad will be served or you may choose a vegetarian option. Please remember that early purchasers get the choice tables.
